Golden Threads So many memories I've found, Whenever Christmas rolls around, Come crowding near and I can see Them hanging on our yearly tree. These treasured baubles from the past, All stored with care, so they will last, Are passed along as children leave To make their homes, where they will weave Into the tapestry that's theirs, The history a family shares. Like golden threads, these memories tie The present, to those days gone by, Published in Scroll Magazine 1999 Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (12-22-2001 01:47 AM).] |

How very lovely! My favorite part of decorating the tree is rediscovering the ornaments of old that are precious memories of each of my children. Love, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

A very special part of Christmas is unpacking those ornaments and flashing back through the memories they hold. Thanks for reminding me with this marvelous poem, to pause and reflect just a little bit longer as we pack our treasures away. Mike |

BettyLou~ My friend ... this is so nostalgically lovely~ Many a memory cascades as I finger the ornaments of the past~ 'So many memories I've found, Whenever Christmas rolls around, Come crowding near and I can see Them hanging on our yearly tree. These treasured baubles from the past, All stored with care, so they will last,' Indeed .. they are 'treasured baubles'~ Thank you dear lady for sharing with me~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (01-02-2002 06:37 PM).] |
